Random

Finally my 8 bits of random *schtuff*....

1. I've realized lately, that I'm a night owl and LOVE my quiet late nights of reading, tv, creating,etc. That is nothing new. But now I'm finding that I'm not minding getting up early as well, and enjoying a quiet time in the morning with dew on the grass, the sun shining brightly, birds chirping and swooping playfully....it's lovely! Coffee and a book on the patio with my feet propped up on the table...VERY relaxing way to start the day!

2. I *LOVE* making lists. Lists of things to be done for the day. Grocery lists, Wish lists, short term/long term goal lists. LOVE it.

3. I miss writing letters and receiving letters. Email is GREAT but getting a card or letter in the mail is such a precious thing these days- I treasure them. Life is busy, but people made the time to do it in the past- to stay connected. It's on my list of TO DO's!

4. My favorite number is 4. just thought you should know. now, isn't your heart a littler warmer?!

5. I've toyed with chopping off all my hair (well. not ALL but MOST) and going DARK brown just to see what it would be like. I'm scared it would be too much of a shock! And be a terrible decision I'd regret and not be able to fix easily. And that it would look completely horrible and age me and. and. and. Needless to say- the likelihood of it happening is close to nil.

6. I really, really hate those dreams where I'm shopping somewhere and score some FABULOUS clothes or whatever and then I wake up and actually think they'll BE THERE because the dream seemed so real. Ever have those? HATE that...the disappointment is bitter! lol

7. I have a tough time living in the moment. I'm always thinking of how what I do now may affect the future and decisions I'll have to make later on..thus indecisiveness and fretting over the "right thing" abound. Note to self: Live In The Moment!

8. In the 6th grade I had the BEST teacher. We were his first class of kids ever and he was SO nice! A great teacher- perhaps a bit lenient but excellent. I have SUCH great memories from that year. He oozed enthusiasm and encouragement. He beamed with pride when we'd finally "get it" or during school programs. He pushed me to write stories and ideas whenever they struck me. A friend and I decided to change our names. I think mine was MINERVA (after a tv character from a movie that Punky Brewster's Soleil Moon Frye did) and we'd put it on all our work as our name. He acted like it was a perfectly natural thing to do. Until people started coming up with their own names too and not telling him- then turning in homework under these new identities. lol. He went to Outdoor School with us- a weeklong camp for 6th graders- and he made it even more enjoyable. When I moved to the 7th grade classes I was sad- but we still saw him. I was a bit envious of the new group moving into our territory- taking over our great teacher. Then in the middle of the 8th grade my family moved to another town and he heard about it and had someone take over his class for a class period so he could come across campus and bring me a card and give me a big hug on my last day. I'll never forget that. I learned that he moved to Sisters, Oregon to teach there a year or two later. I kept in touch with my friends and went to visit occasionally- and when they had their graduation ceremony I went. And there was our beloved 6th grade teacher- he'd driven a few hours to see his first class of kids graduate high school. He gave us the BIGGEST hugs and took pictures of all of us-- his eyes sparkly and full of tears and a HUGE grin on his face... I'm not sure where he's at now or if he's still teaching- but if he is- those kids are SO lucky.

Ok then! 8 is Enough (remember that show?!)!

Will post again later, perhaps. Just thought I'd post a pic of the front of our home.
LOVE this time of year... it's 90 degrees outside with just a hint of breeze.
Have to work outside--yard needs WORK. Kids need SPRINKLER. Or so I've been informed!

PLANS

• Pull Weeds in front yard
• Water plants
• Sweep Front Walk
• Dust in Living Room (FlyLady Mission)
• Rake/Pick Up dried grass in backyard
• Mow Back...again.
• Plant several tomatoes in bigger planters
• Dinner
• Drop books at Library
• Shower/Clean Up
• Church

I visited COURT'S blog this morning and she's sorta randomly tagged me- literally. So I'll try and post that later. All the yardwork I have to do today leaves me with PLENTY of time to think about what I'll post!

Memorial Day

Our day will be spent being homebodies...
We've got some projects we're working on, so there will be no couch potatoes here.
Last night Robert and I watched an amazing and sobering show on CNN called COMBAT HOSPITAL. Check the website out to see what it's about...truly amazing. If you don't have a loved one in Iraq, it's easy to brush it aside that on this very day- we have soldiers serving, giving their lives, while we bbq and do household chores.




It's sobering but I think everyone should watch it- to keep it a reality in our minds and hearts. We have a friend from church who is being deployed in a few days. The kids are going to send letters and care packages to him on a regular basis- it's the least we can do.

~*~* Blessings & HEARTFELT THANKS to those who Serve *~*~

MISC.

We finished moving everything out of the old church today. It was odd to see it empty and realize that we'll never attend another service/program/school day there. But also a sense of moving forward in so many different ways as a church body! VERY exciting! While Robert and I helped (he helped lug the big stuff over to the new campus while I vaccuumed and scrubbed out cupboards in the kitchen) the kidlets were running around with friends- they got a nice playdate out of it and doughnuts and cheetos to boot! THEY had a BALL! lol.

Afterward, we headed home to tackle our rec room but we were a little frazzled and decided to put it off yet another day. ugh. NOT looking forward to it! The room is just a MESS right now. Boxes of stuff. Computers and parts tucked into corners. Church class stuff, Ebay inventory (BIG organizational task in and of itself.), Scrapbook/Crafty stuff, etc.etc. It's a jumble and it LOOKS it. We'll be spending tomorrow working on that after church. I'm anxious to see it DONE. This is where our homeschool area is going to be, but I can't envision any sort of set-up until it's all clean.

Robert grilled steak on kabobs for dinner tonite- with steamed cauliflower and broccoli. YUM. He makes the BEST BBQ...seriously. I'm SO lucky!! Now he's off with the kidlets catching an evening showing of the latest PIRATES of the CARIBBEAN. I stayed behind, as that's not my cup of tea. I'd rather get some Ebay listings under my belt and catch up on TIVO'd goodies!

I scrapped last night but I just wasn't feelin' it...don't know why. I just had a REALLY hard time getting going. I got two pages done. I'll take a pic of them tomorrow and post. I wasn't overly thrilled with either of them but they're done. I think my dabbling is so few and far between lately that I'm just "out of it". I cannot TELL you how much I HATE that. It's got to change!

So....I'm going to post a little tidbit of random eye candy everyday to get back into the routine of posting everyday and usually that motivates me to think of scrap pages and ideas begin to swirl- so maybe that will help. Plus my blog entries won't be so visually BORING!

Today I give you....
little bits of home.

I'm craving lots of visually AIRY & CLEAN stuff right now. I'm spying all the white in the house decor...and loving it. Thankful for white cupboards in my kitchen for the Summer light to bounce off of all day!

Tomorrow I teach Sunday School. Our little group is the "Turtle" group. They have divided the age groups/classes into animals that live in/by rivers or other bodies of water. The name of our church is THE RIVER CENTER- so they wanted something fun to tie in. I'm needing to begin giving our classroom some fun ZING to attract the kids. I'd say STIMULATE the kids but if you saw my class...my class of 4&5 year olds, averaging 16+ per Sunday...you'd KNOW that I AVOID that word!!! lol. But I want something FUN. That says "Come in here- there's SO many fun things to look at and do!"... so with the River/Turtle theme...can you give me some input here??? Give me "out there" but also keep in mind budget!

**HIT ME!**

I'm just the luckiest, most blessed Mom!! They both did a TREMENDOUS job at their program last night. TREMENDOUS. Before the program they were both quiet and ...focused. lol. My shy guy was a little more anxious because it's just not his favorite thing- crowds, attention on HIM. But he did a great job. And Josie- our performer. She was a little more reserved than usual, but she wasn't 100% herself after being sick.

Look how big they are...(sigh). Tomorrow is the last day of school- an awards program and bbq lunch! Should be alot of fun.

TueBits

Ahhhh....or should I say..uggghhhhhh...I was awakened at 2am by Josie having a bad dream. I climbed into bed with her and cuddled until she fell asleep. Then- the dog starts in about an hour later- whimpering LOUDLY for a backyard trip to relieve himself. He takes his sweet time. We come back in, I crawl into bed and shut my eyes for what seemed a milisecond and I hear Josie. again. Only this time it's more of a wail followed by wretching. oh yes indeedy. good times.

Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep and now I'm completely UNmotivated to do anything. Am I done griping now, you ask?? YES.

I've been keeping busy with end of year stuff at the school, prepping for OUR next year of school at home, Ebay and housecleaning. Today has been cups of coffee. LARGE cups of coffee. NUMEROUS large cups of coffee, munching on Kashi Almond Flax Crunch (YUM!), stripping bed linens- washing&rewashing. Doting on a pale, pathetic little urpy urchin and cruising my new Numero Uno Scrappy site: Scrap In STyle TV WOW! What a fun little site that is!! My new scrap home for inspiration and SISterhood. It's made today entirely bearable! lol. Now I'm drinking a large cup of coffee, watching/listening to PRIVATE BENJAMIN on tv and sorting out a tremendously disorganized studio.

Tonite is supposed to be the kidlets' Spring Program, however I'm not certain how that will play out, with the urpy urchin in the next room. Her head is in knots. literally. we washed, spray-gel'd and twisted knots all over her head last night in preparation for the program tonite. She's so upset at the possibility she'll miss out on her stage time to showcase the curls! lol.

Almost FRIDAY!

Whew!
WHAT a DAY!!
I ran errands this morning and then spent the rest of the day (noon to exactly 6:18pm) trying to regain control of the backyard! The grass is FULL of weeds (we rent and this yard obviously never got much attention prior to us living there) and it was all WAIST HIGH back there! Our weedwhacker was on the fritz so I borrowed my dads nifty new one that runs like a push mower! It was GREAT! I only have about 1/4 left to do (it's a pretty big stretch of yard!) but have to wait for dad to bring me some whip replacements-- I used up the first pair already. I cut the weeds down, then mowed high, then reset the mower lower and mowed AGAIN, then raked up rows of grass/weeds which I'll pick up tomorrow. My hands and arms were shaking (ain't THAT pathetic?!) as I was pulling off my shoes tonite. ugh. I'm sure I'll be hurtin' tomorrow. Oh well- it's all worth it! It's already looking SOOOO much better.

Tomorrow I'm going with Matthew's class on a field trip to Eugene, to a Science Center/Museum and a park. Should be alot of fun- especially being with my little man. I wanted to go to scope it out for our own field trips next year also.... so we'll see!

That's it for today...
Nothing amazing. Earth shattering. Exciting. ;)

Jumpin' Jivin' Joey

Man, that guy can dance!! Love this style...

Just...WOW!

I got this in an Email today and had to share..this woman took an amazing stand and shared such an impactful declaration! LOVE it...

This is a statement that was read over the PA s ystem at the football game at Roane County High School, Kingston, Tennessee, by school Principal, Jody McLeod.

" It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country."Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law.

As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate lifestyle," and if someone is offended, that's OK.

I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK.

I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem...

I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth" and call it "ecology."

I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment."

However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical.

Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone except GOD and HIS Commandments. Nevertheless, as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical... I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression.

For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time."However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to bless this event, please feel free to do so. As far as I know, that's not against the law----yet."

One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray.They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box. The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America--the seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD." Somehow, Kingston, Tennessee, remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion.

It doesn't take much to make me HAPPY!

Ok- this sounds like the DORKIEST thing on the planet but....
I made THE PULSE on Ebay!! The pulse lists the most popular listings right now...they track how many people visit and/or watch specific listings and then post those on "The Pulse". I listed a new "Vintage" Trapper Keeper and I have over 45 watchers right now and several hundred hits on the actual listing! I just listed it yesterday afternoon- so the numbers are pretty crazy for only a day and a half! Very curious to see where they'll be when this ends!
Here's the link...
Vintage Trapper Keeper

ANYwho...
Haven't been around here much lately. Been listing like a crazy woman on Ebay and outside enjoying this gorgeous weather we've been having!!!

We've been bike riding with the kids in the evenings, bbq'd several times and LOTS of lawn mowing. I'm also busy preparing things and researching for our first year of homeschool coming up. Lots to do there (or lots I *want* to do!) but it's fun, not tedious or stressful.

I'll post again soon with something more entertaining and some pictures. of something.
Now wouldn't THAT be nice...

bleh.

it's an "off" sorta day.

ever have one of those??

I'm so glad they are few and far between because it's rather annoying.

don't feel right.

completely unmotivated.

didn't get a thing done.

except a LONG nap after church...quite out of character for me typically.

Hope tomorrow IS a new day physically and mentally because my house is falling down around my ears.

Hope your day was MUCH better than mine!

xoxo

Hilarious!!!!!!!!

Oh. My.

This is SO hysterical! I *just* saw this on tv and almost spit coke all over myself! Had to share. Gotta love YouTube at times like this...And HOW many takes did it take to get that?! If I was that couple I would've been DYING laughing- trying to say those lines and maintain composure.

Pretty funny that I saw this for the first time after posting my last entry too...ironic!!

Wise Words

If you dear little girls would only learn what real beauty is, and not pinch and starve and bleach yourselves out so, you'd save an immense deal of time and money and pain. A happy soul in a healthy body makes the best sort of beauty for man or woman.Louisa May Alcott, Eight Cousins, 1875

I have been re-reading some classics from my bookshelf and stumbled across this and it just rang true. I need to remember this - in this day and age of "SELF". The obsession to be perfect. The things we, as women (AND men!) do to acquire what we/society deems desireable and the equivalent to success/power/status...and does it REALLY make us happy? Truly?
Nope. And if you insist that it does- you're fooling yourself.
In this land of "It's All About ME". "The Diva". "Princess". "Just Do It". "Whatever Makes You Feel Good"- all the emphasis is on who we are and what we deserve and that we need it NOW.

I'm guilty of this mindset myself at times and I don't want my daughter (OR my son) to have this attitude. Nor do I want them to feel they must conform to worldly standards to feel good about themselves or to be accepted by others.

Don't get me wrong-- I *LOVE* the fun of fashion. And I could stand to lose a few pounds- to be healthier. But I've wasted far too much of my time on the surface, meaningless drivel of what's "hot" right now and how to aquire it to feel accepted or like myself more. Does this mean I'm going to stop working out and dress in tents? uh...NOPE! But my focus has changed. For the better. I feel like with this admission and release, that I'm making way for more meaningful experiences to savor. That I'll have a deeper perspective of life and my place in it, to share with my kidlets. Time wasted on surface things will be put to better use!!

Sure, I'll still post cute things I may stumble across here on my blog now and again. But no more POUNDS of Glamour, In Style, Self, Shape, People, In Touch, Marie Claire,etc.etc.etc. laying around here. Think of all the money I'll save! lol.

The 411

So...a few days ago I posted about how in awe of God I am. Especially lately.
But I didn't really go into detail about WHY.
Well, dear friends- here's the dish:

About 4 months ago or so (maybe longer)... I had a funny dream. I'll spare you the details but it was incredibley vivid and "real" and I was left in a daze over it for days afterward for two reasons.

• I just don't dream colorful/memorable/detailed dreams much anymore. I used to but the last few years they're few and far between. SO this one- in all it's unique glory- fascinated me and left me daydreaming ABOUT the dream often. Replaying the details... loved it.
• In a good portion of the dream- I was teaching my children at home. In a room that was obviously designated for learning. The kids each had a work space, there was a chalkboard and bulletin board with all sorts of "in progress" things on them, bookshelves filled with curriculum, fiction and cubbies of puzzles, legos, etc. It wasn't elaborate in school decor- but it was colorful and engaging...and we all seemed happy and busy.

Now, I found it intriguing but I kept it to myself. For quite a while. I didn't even share it with Robert for some time- because, quite frankly, I was scared that the very mention of the DREAM scenario of homeschooling would strike his fancy and he'd want to do it for REAL. And I wasn't sure I could handle that. It was a fanciful DREAM but I didn't think I was capable to even THINK about teaching my children. And the more I considered the idea, the more I felt I should dismiss it and NEVER tell Robert about it. It seemed silly to even contemplate the notion because I was perfectly happy with their current school and teachers. VERY content with it- I loved going and being a part of it and felt secure in WHO was teaching them and WHAT they were being taught. It's a closely knit group, the majority of whom also attend our church. So I became puzzled and exasperated as to WHY this homeschooling idea kept coming up over the next few months. I'd be reading something and it would mention it. I'd watch a television show and it would show a family that homeschooled. Stories of local people that homeschool would come up in conversation with friends and family, reading my favorite craft blogs it would be talked of... it just suddenly seemed to be hovering over me EVERYwhere!

The "breaking point" was when one night, Robert and I were both in the rec room working on our respective computers, when he said "You know what's weird? I've been thinking about homeschooling our kids lately. ALOT."

You could've pushed me over with a FEATHER. And the goosebumps didn't die down for a while either!! lol. So then I told him about my months of quiet questioning and prayer over why *I* had it on the brain and the dream that seemed to start it all- preceeded by the "ok. You're NEVER going to believe this but..." We were both in agreement that obviously we should be praying about this TOGETHER and just quietly educate ourselves on the various aspects of homeschooling- but that we wouldn't share it with anyone else until we'd make a firm decision and that no immediate decision needed to be made. Afterall, he was just as confident and secure in the kids' current school arrangements as I.

Then, almost a month ago we made the concrete decision to begin homeschooling the kids next year. We felt good about the decision. We'd been faithful in our prayer about direction, and it just felt RIGHT. At least for now. So this past week there was a meeting for the parents and teachers/administrators regarding next years school registration. We felt we should attend just to know where things would be headed since our children are still attending THIS year and who knows- our new venture may not work out for one reason or another (although I truly hope and feel that it will be successful!).

It turns out that there are many changes occurring within the school- a new location, new curriculum and the older children will be using a distance learning program from their homes. The younger children will continue to be taught by a teacher on-site at the new campus until 4th grade. The changes were made wisely for the school's current situation (fluctuation of teachers, administration,etc) and I respect the school and the leadership behind it immensely. But I have to tell you- I sat there feeling very at PEACE and SECURE because I KNEW that my direction had been from God. He had just been preparing us for the change ahead!

SO now I'm preparing things for next year! And I am just chomping at the bit- there is SO much to learn, figure out, and DO around here to get ready. But I feel good about it all. I don't have the curriculum entirely figured out yet but I have a good idea of how we'll be starting. Plus I've already talked to a few local homeschool moms that go to our church and they've invited me into their homes to see how THEY do it. To gain some insight into how they handle things, what curriculum they use, activities,etc. And I've already read so many books on the subject-- I can't even tell you how many! And the notes I've taken...pages and pages of notes, ideas, prayers...

Whether this adventure lasts through grade 12 or only for a few years, I do not know. What I *DO* know is that for now- it's what we're supposed to do. And we'll lean on God when we're unsure or faltering and He'll lead us- just as He always has.

FUHHHHRRRRIIIIIIIDAAAAYYYYY!

Just a little funny for ya... Happy Friday!!

My God's Not Dead

I just gotta say that He is SO amazing.
Gotta say it!!!
He put something on my heart MONTHS ago and it was SO random, OUT THERE to me... just left me baffled and wondering ....WHAAA?! WHY does this keep coming up? WHY do I keep thinking about this?? And tonite it all made sense. Completely. He was preparing me. Months ago He began preparing me for events taking place now.
It just leaves me feeling a wee bit giggly and in awe, I must say.
And I know that's all a smidge cryptic without full-on details but I'll get around to that soon...

Been listening to a great worship CD by Generation Unleashed..from the youth conference this last February. Robert and I missed out on that one but hope to go next year. Nothing like seeing a bunch of young people on fire for God at your church. The best is seeing the kids go, get fed by these conferences and then come home and KEEP THE PASSION.
THAT is the absolute best.
So here's a clip of the conference in Portland we missed. Our "kids" went though and I know they had a blast. The sound quality kinda stinks but you get the general idea!

Just a little ditty to get ya rollin' this fine Monday...

i dig it the mostest...

Just some delish, dee-vine delights for your eyes today...

That Amy Butler just has a way, doesn't she?! Her fabrics and marketing photos are SO inspiring to me... LOVE them.


Yes, there I am, perched on my ADORABLE mod couch. The sun is pouring in, warming my tanned, bare toes. I tuck a whisp of hair behind my ear and close my eyes, breathing in the fruity aroma wafting from the steamy cup held up close to my face. Mmmmm...


Now I've ventured onto the front porch, my quilt tucked around my shoulders. Thoughts of a new day and the adventure to be had. Birds chirp, a warm morning breeze strokes my cheek. I toy with staying on the porch ALL day, but decide it's the perfect weather to go junking instead!


Loading up a few gorgeous EMPTY bags to fill with treasures to be found throughout the day- old linens, china and dance gowns from days long ago. Don't you LOVE my sporty little ride?!


Couldn't resist this photo op against this wall-- LOVE that color!


Just ONE of the crazy cool finds I stumbled across! Came home and recovered it in just one afternoon. Perfection.

~... oh. yeah- that was an ENTIRE fabrication using Amy Butler photos by the way. {wasn't that the BEST pun EVER?!}In case you're a wee bit lost *or* not familiar with her site, crazy mad photos & fabrics, nor are you familiar with ME to know that bod, hair, boney legs, and sporty vehicle are not mine whatsoever! ;) Just a bit of silly fun.
And...to ruin my silly bit of fun, Blogger is showing all photos as red "x"'s.
I am NOT amused, blogger.
Not one bit.

Take Heart.

Seeing the breaking news on MSN about the massacre in Virginia brought tears to my eyes. I feel anger and confusion as to WHY someone would do something like this. Did he have something against the school, a specific group of people in a class, or was it more along the lines of gaining fame through a horrific crime?? What I *DO* know is that he was obviously disturbed. Irrational. And more than anything- that guy was LOST. So,so very LOST. If only he had known the peace and healing that Jesus could bring him...that it would've gotten him through ANYthing he was going through. Saying this is sad is SUCH an understatement.

Here's something I came across blog-hopping. I can't recall who had this posted, although it's shared through YouTube. But regardless, it's really cool and moving.

Take the Quiz here!

I'm SUCH a sucker for these... this one was fun! WEll... I've done some house cleaning today and then shopped this morning for the two shindigs we're attending later this afternoon/evening. It was fun to put these two gifts together- one for a 6 year old boy and one for a soon-to-be married couple (obviously!).

The boys party is being held at the local swimming pool...so I did an outdoor/warm weather theme for his gift... pool toys, a football, Spiderman bubble set (shaped bubble blowers), and a Supersoaker..and the token candy I always include in kids gifts- in this case a giant sucker with the Taz character on the front- this is fitting for who we're giving it to! He's good natured and sweet but ON THE GO- ALLLL the time! He's in Josie's class and she's completely enamored. This is who gave her a glass heart for Valentine's day which is among her most treasured possessions! ;)

The wedding gift was something different as well. I knew many practical items the couple had registered for were purchased- so I opted for a fun gift instead. I created a "romantic game night" instead. A board game (which they both enjoy playing- YAY! So nice already knowing that!), a container of popcorn, a few packages of Hershey "Kissables" and a set of bowls to put it all in. Then I also bought fun patterned playing card, dice and candles. I hope they like it- I know it's something I'd love to receive!

I've stayed up until 2:30 am two nights in a row now, then up at 8-ish but feeling good still. LOVING the quiet hours to myself- catching up on DVR'd shows, stacks of magazines I haven't had time to read and some of my favorite crafty blogs as well. I teach Sunday school tomorrow so probably shouldn't be up too late tonite I suppose. But I probably will anyway! ;)

Hope YOU are having a wonderful weekend!

xoxo
